230v to 120v Leema Tucana

[Stevenwicky]

I recently moved back to Canada with a Leema tucana 2 and it’s 230v and I contacted Leema and they said I have to ship it back to convert it over to 120v. But they have since not gotten back to me on price or any further steps. Caught in a pickle.
Has anymore done any of these conversions before specifically with a Leema ?

You do have 240 Volt appliance circuits in your home.

I know this might be a stupid question.

You’re saying rewire a 240v plug to fit the uk style plug and it’ll just work…?

You can buy a transformer for this issue. For examples look on amazon.

99% of gear made nowadays has dual primaries (2x115V) which can be configured for both 115V and 230V operation.

Sometimes manufacturers make it easy putting a switch, sometimes there is a jumper and sometimes you need to rearrange some wires.

Look at the transformer, if it says 2x115V, then it can be done.

Ya Sadly no switch
And I checked the transformers nothing labeled on them.
Thanks though

220V amplifier in 110V country... oops!

So I've been looking for an Arcam A18 forever, and one finally came up on eBay that shipped to Canada. I was so excited to find it, that during the entire ordering process (plus the time it took to cross the ocean and a couple cities to my house), the fact that it was from the UK didn't...
